Only ended up with 6" of snow, which still isn't that bad but not as much as we had anticipated. It was snowing a few minutes ago but it appears to have let up now. The Civic handled the snow fantastically.

That's one of my old cards, too... the EVGA 'Balls of Steel' edition card that came in "Duke's fully loaded package' - a special edition GTX 560 that I still think was hilariously awesome even though I hear the game sucked balls.

Anyway, replaced it with an EVGA GTX 570. Also upgraded her i3-2120 to an i5-2400. Four real cores instead of two hyperthreaded ones.

I cannot reliably directly play back media stored on the newly built NAS box. It suffers from random stutter at various times. Switching from Windows 10's built in media player to Media Player Classic - Home Cinema reduces the stuttering a fair amount, but it's still there and sometimes severe.

That would immediately lead me to believe that network throughput is at fault - the server can't provide data fast enough, right? Except... it can. Like tenfold. It's all gigabit over CAT6, and not the cheap CCA stuff either... it's solid copper conductor CAT6. I can copy the same movie file that I witness stuttering from the NAS to my PC and get an instant and steady ~120MB/s no problem for the entire copy process.

I still plan to setup Plex on the NAS box but this bugs the shit out of me and I know there has to be something I've overlooked.
